Subject: [PATCH 3/5] build: bootloader: Add install-efi procedure.
Date: Wed, 29 Apr 2020 10:47:54 +0200

* gnu/build/bootloader.scm (install-efi-loader): New exported procedure. This
is based on install-efi from (gnu build vm) module.
* gnu/build/vm.scm (initialize-hard-disk): Adapt to use install-efi-loader.
